I am following up. It turns out it was either or both spark plug tubes and transaxle mounts. Apparently the mounts are filled with oil that was leaking, and the spark plug tubes were leaking. Both...

One thing I've noticed about my Boxster which I've had for 20 years, is that a lot of different plastic pieces have become brittle and are breaking. I'm assuming that is a likely cause here. That...

Oil leak question

On my 2000 Boxster S, my son drove it today to work. When he got there, he reported oil smoke coming out of the right engine vent - on the side of the car. I'm debating what to do - that is, if the...

Thanks all for the thoughts. As I said, my other cars are much older AND I've had them for much much longer. So I have no intent of giving up on my Boxster either. I've driven the newer Boxster...

FWIW, on my drive home, it of course never happened. But that's the point for mine. Very intermittent. Hard to pinpoint the scenarios it happens.

Thanks! No, this is not my engine and it hasn't been removed. I just grabbed this picture to show it. I will see about replacing the line or whatever seals there are at its joints. Thanks.

917 Shift Knob

I didn't want one of these on my 911. But on my Boxster, it goes so well with the Metropol Blue!

Am I nuts? On my 2000 Boxster S, I don't have post cat sensors. I got the car with 14k miles, 14 years ago, and zero mods at that time. Is this correct that I shouldn't have the post cat sensors?...
